Deleted thread visible for all even if not allowed

Unsolved Technical Support
  • Hi guys, I've an easy question likely related to me being rusty.

    In one of my forum I'm seeing the deleted threads appearing in the category listing even though "view deleted posts" is active only for moderators. Is it expected? Shouldn't these threads being removed in the category view even if they were not purged but only marked as deleted?

    Thanks, R

  • This could be cosmetic but I am not completely sure - however did you consider trying a build via terminal?

    My experience has been any quirky cosmetic behaviours like this (after changing settings, if noticed at the time) are usually fixed by a restart or even better a build, and more so via terminal but ACP instigated build/restart often works too, but if not revert to a ./nodebb build

    the deleted threads appearing in the category listing

    Non-privileged users should just see "This topic is deleted!" or "This post is deleted!". Their position is kept because it is rather difficult to keep track of the topics/posts based on who can view the post and who cannot.

    @julian This is definitely a common request and one that I've certainly been waiting for. Hopefully, one day someone can help develop a freely available solution for this.

    @pitaj said in Post visibility help..:

    Hmmmm...

    I wouldn't call this security per-say, but it may be a bug in our handling of user page privileges. Make sure that only that other groups don't have any privileges in that category. If that is already so, then please open an issue on Github.

    We have one over-arching group that is kind of like "administrator" but from a forum/moderation point of view. The other individual groups have their own sub-categories. So, for each of the sub categories, the over-arching group is assigned and that one group related to that sub-category is assigned.

    I'll throw an issue up. Sound like it might be a bug.

    Thanks @julian I am using a Mac at the moment to run this locally on my machine. The config you're referring to is the config.json found in the root folder?

    I can "redis-server" in the root of my nodebb project with a config.json file inside it.

    Sorry for not providing enough info, still new to this
